I feel like I'm being Poe's Law'd here.

I've definitely noticed this anecdotally. Especially with Gemini Pro when providing long form textual references, providing many documents in a single context windows gives worse a…

This one right here Mr. Basilisk

Most exchanges do not reveal counter-party information smaller than the broker level. So you wouldn't know just from looking at market activity the same person causing the large fu…

I did this route (sans the new Laos line, which was a bus at the time) in 2014. The world really was a different place. Shout out to 'The man in seat 61', couldn't have done it wit…

"Jumbogram", an IPv6 packet with the Jumbo Payload option set, allowing for an frame size of up to 2³²-1 bytes. At 10Gbps it would take 3.4 seconds just to serialize the frame.

Clearly all the people repeating it without truely understanding it are just simple bots with a big lookup table of canned responses.

I realise you can make games in any language/engine. But could you explain the language/system/engine you used? How did you go about validating the game is fun? Did you end up havi…

It's always interesting to note the waves of sponsors flow through youtube/podcasts. Raid, Nordvpn, recently Incogni. I wonder if the ad spend actually pays off for them, or if it'…

What if someone votes, but the caesium atom decays and triggers the poison vial to crack and fill the voting booth?

In theory yes, over a geological timescale. In practice, it would be like worrying about the sun expanding and engulfing the earth, when it reaches its red giant phase, when you ar…

The greatest minds of our generation spend their time thinking about how to: - make people click on ads - make trading algos faster - replace human artists - build more efficient k…

I was in Shanghai this year, and in the city center, it is actually unsettling how quiet it is. Every motorbike is electric and probably 70% of the cars (at least in the CBD). It's…

15 Circuit breaker trips in derivatives. Most in a single day ever I think, fun. https://www.jpx.co.jp/english/markets/derivatives/scb-info/i...

I will never not be amazed by Futamura Projections.

1.4 PB/mm^3 (petabytes per millimeter cubed)×1260 cm^3 (cubic centimeters, large human brain) = 1.76×10^21 bytes = 1.76 ZB (zetabytes)

This seems to the most likely, and it's not unheard of, they have 'local regions' like osaka in Japan. Alternatively they could just stick a bunch of Outpost racks in the NYSE/NASD…

The biggest current limitation with cloud providers when it comes to exchange tech is the lack of real multicast support. It is rare outside of exchanges, but extremely low latency…

Just for fun, because it's hard to appreciate how strong a 256bit ECDSA key is. Base Numbers: - 2*128 guesses on average - public state of the art for ECDSA on an FPGA is 1315tps […

Sounds like more propaganda put out by Big Spider. I will not be tricked into being covered in tarantulas for my fear of heights a second time.
